This Dude Slammed His Work's No-Shorts Policy by Going Back in a Dress

When the hot summer heat hits, finding reprieve in any form you can is essential. Despite rising temperatures, offices and schools for one reason or another like to keep a tight lid on dress codes. While these same places are often policing women for being "distracting" in spaghetti-strap tanks, one way in which men are discriminated against in the corporate world is not being allowed to wear shorts -- while women aren't policed for dresses and skirts. (TBH, women usually can't wear shorts either because: the patriarchy ... but I digress.) Since it is 2017 and this is all rather silly, Joey Barge -- a call center worker in the UK -- decided to challenge it by wearing shorts.
